Posting Micro Internships

Posting Micro-Internships with Parker Dewey

Bellevue University has partnered with Parker Dewey, an online platform to connect employers and students, for project-based short-term work experiences. As such, we would like to encourage our employer partners to consider posting experiences called Micro-Internships. The best part is that Parker Dewey manages the posting, hiring, and HR paperwork too!

What is a Micro Internship?

Micro internships are short-term, project-based assignments offered by organizations virtually. Projects can take anywhere from one week to a few months to complete and usually range from 5 to 40 hours of work. Projects are designed to be completed year-round and students are usually paid a fixed fee. Micro internships provide a scalable way for employers to engage with talent and students to get hands-on experience.

A micro internship connects companies to students and alumni by engaging in meaningful work that benefits both the company and the candidate. Micro internships allow companies to get projects completed while simultaneously sourcing talent for future, full-time opportunities. Employers can experience a candidate’s skills and work ethic to begin building their talent pipeline. Micro internships can complement existing recruiting efforts by appealing to candidates who might not be able to complete a traditional internship or be ready for a full-time opportunity.
